Overview

Export your quotes to CSV format for marketing analysis, conversion tracking, and business intelligence. The export includes one row per quote — open, booked, and lost — with event types, sources, addresses, and quote values, so you can see where inquiries come from and which ones turn into bookings.

How to Export Quotes

1

Navigate to the Pipeline

Go to the Pipeline page in your Flashquotes dashboard. Apply any filters first. The export matches your current filters and sort, with no implicit date window.
2

Click Export CSV

Click the Export CSV button in the top right of the header, next to New quote. Exporting is available on desktop.
3

Choose columns and scope

Pick which columns to include. The Include booked and lost toggle (on by default) keeps closed-out quotes in the file for win/loss analysis — switch it off to export only open quotes.
4

Download Your File

Your browser will automatically download a CSV file containing your quotes (maximum 2,000 rows).

What’s Included

Each row is a single quote. These columns are included by default:
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Company Name
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Source
  • Event Type
  • Stage
  • Quote Date
  • First Event Date
  • Guest Count
  • Quote Value
And these are available as opt-in columns:
  • Company Location
  • Lead Owner
  • Event Address
  • Services
  • Add-ons
  • Staff Count
  • Resource Count
  • Sent Date
  • Expiry Date
  • Booked Date
  • Lost Date
  • Lost Reason
  • Quote ID

Export Scope

  • Filters and sort carry over — the export matches exactly what you’ve filtered the Pipeline to, in the same order. Needs attention sort is honored server-side, so the file ranks quotes the same way the board does.
  • No implicit date window — the export covers every quote matching your active filters. Add a created-date filter to narrow the range.
  • Booked and lost quotes are included by default via the Include booked and lost toggle in the export dialog footer. Switch it off to export only open quotes.

Common Use Cases

Marketing Attribution

Analyze your inbound quote data by where it came from:
  • Measure inquiry volume and booking rate by source
  • Compare quote values across marketing channels
  • Identify which channels bring high-intent inquiries

Win/Loss Analysis

Export with booked and lost quotes included to:
  • Track conversion rates by event type or source
  • Review lost reasons to spot patterns (price, availability, timing)
  • Compare won vs. lost quote values

Demand Planning

Use event details to plan ahead:
  • Break down demand by event address, city, or venue
  • Track guest counts and staffing needs by season
  • Forecast busy periods from first event dates

Export Limits

Exports are limited to 2,000 quotes per export to ensure optimal performance. For larger datasets, add a created-date filter and export in batches.

File Format

The CSV file follows RFC 4180 standards:
  • UTF-8 encoding
  • Comma-separated values
  • Double-quoted text fields
  • Header row with column names
  • Compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and all major data tools

Troubleshooting

The Export CSV button appears in the Pipeline header on desktop only — it isn’t available on mobile.
If special characters appear incorrectly:
  1. Open Excel first
  2. Use Data → Import from Text/CSV
  3. Select UTF-8 encoding
  4. Choose comma as delimiter
Check your export scope — the export respects:
  • All active Pipeline filters (date range, source, event type, location, owner)
  • The Include booked and lost toggle in the export dialog
If nothing matches your current filters, no file downloads. Widen your filters or date range and try again.
